Speedboosted
Found missing cylinders
I'd love to have this thread be a big combination of multiple tire threads from the past in one easy place for them all to be compared. The information I'm looking for is how each tire discussed performs on the track, and no where else. It won't be street driven or see rain, and probably won't do much autocross if any.
I'd like to keep it for anything above a 140 TW rating, no slicks or R comps. Which tires of this current crop has the best balance between speed and longevity? Which is the fastest, what is the longest lasting?
How does the new Nexen tire compare to the veterans of the class?

The wheels I will be using are 18x9.5 Forgestar F14's that are currently home to 275/35 BFG Rivals (non S). They will need to be replace before next spring so I want to get an idea of what I should look at when the time comes. Here are my top replacement choices at the moment, in no particular order. Remember my requirements for where it'll be driven.
-Yokohama AD08R. While it is listed at a 265, the specs show it's as wide if not wider then a lot of other 275 tires.
-Dunlop Direzza Star Spec
-Bridgestone RE11
I love everything about the first gen Rival. I know it's not the fastest, but I like how it doesn't get peaky throughout a session and remains consist the whole day. I've heard they aren't the greatest in the rain but again it doesn't matter. I also like the stiff sidewalls on them compared to some other tires.
Lets hear your thoughts!
